I understand snipers are apart of the game/war and i understand it all about personal preference when it comes to choosing a weapon.. But un my country where you have recently put servers in (this year) i have become so damn frustrated.. I mean sure having snioers is normal and all.. But if 3/4 of your team are snipers and not PTFO! It becomes a little.. Frustrating… Expecially when you win or lose by a 700 ticket gap 90% of the time.. And as a player who uses assault, medic and support most of the time.. You cant really take cover anywhere.. Ohhh and speaking of taking cover.. I play at an average between 17 and 30 PING.. I still get shot twice by a sniper when i get up and prone to cover.. While im in the middle of the action.. It pisses me off.. EA SPORTS FIFA is the only game that has costed me a controller.. Due its lack of support in development under defense and goalkeepers.. But nonetheless.. Dont be the game that costs me a controller.. I have been playing your games back since bf3 at age 13.. And i do my best to help team matesand enjoy the game while doing so ajd having a laugh when a person get bludgeoned/stabbed or blown uo the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ out of.. But my advice to you to prevent from being so many annoying ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Snipers.. Sorry for language.. Is to put up a custom medal or assignment where stabbing, blowing up and killing multiple snipers will reward in a skin, dog tag or xp.. Or even a highlight at the end of the game.. Pls DICE.. For the love of your community please read this and get back to me.. I dont care for any rewards or what not.. I just dont wanna bream something around me from frustration and end up spending more money… Already soent extra on Premium… Good day! ---

Well there was 2 community challenges a few days ago for scouts. So I saw several squads running 3 or more scout kits. What game mode do you play? It can be frustrating at times, been there before but it’s part of the game. ---

It can be frustrating at times, been there before but it’s part of the game. Conquest.. I understand its part of the game but in my country.. The scout class is seen as the only class to majority of the players.. And its annoying expecially after the buff.. 1 shot dead most of the time … And they will sit under a rock or blend in with the environment.. And they only use carbine or infantry snipers so its hard to spot them.. Its so bloody annoying where I’m from.. ---

Agreed, try playing attacking side Operations 64 player! Scouts can easily make up half the 32-man team, and almost never spot or lay tripwires effectively. Scouts and lack of comms have ruined this game. ---

Yup some modes and maps are scout friendly. Sometimes the only way to beat them is to join them. That said there are a few specialization task and medals that need counter sniping. I’ll admit I mostly use iron sight’s mostly. But I’m a better shot with them compared to scopes and I like not having a scope glint too. Ever since I started using the M95 that’s my go to scout rifle. Now I can stay back a little further or be right there with my squad. But I know there are things I get frustrated with in the game, but it’s all about having fun! ---

Don’t even get me started about the lack of players Not spotting the enemy players Amiens is a prime example. Common for defending teams to try and hang back after the first objective and linger in 1st storey floors or run between the alleyways leading up to the second A objective spawning off each other and attacking from the rear. Perfect tripwire territory for attackers to lay once area has been cleared, but oh no, not in this game for some reason. Until these new assignments came out, I can’t recall \*ever \*seeing a tripwire laid to stop them or put them off flanking, which was common in other FPS’ such as MW2 or Medal of Honor etc. I think the fact that the tripwires don’t kill outright is something to do with it. Regarding spotting, when you use the periscope the spotted enemy literally glows red. This is so rare that when I saw a player lit up like that the other day I actually had to double take. Ballroom blitz, 3rd objective. Common for 3-5 enemy players to be sniping from the ramparts both externally and inwards towards objective B. Can count on one hand the amount of times I have seen these being dealt with effectively by attacking-team scouts. ---

Another cry thread. I play conquest and don’t experience what you describe. Maybe it’s your playstyle? Stop blaming snipers for your own shortcomings, its getting tedious. ---

Wow, I just wrote on a different thread that I was also getting bored with BF1. Now I have seen the Periscope vid I am going to dive right back in there! Can not believe I didn’t think of using it like that before. ---

Spotting for team mates. I never thought about using it in close quarters in such a way. ---

You seem to fit the part with your replies.. And i said “in my country” where we “recently got servers” this year.. If you put 2 and 2 together.. You would be mature enough to think maybe its different in his country.. Yet instead your try immature with your reply.. There are many who complain about the snipers in my country.. But you wouldn’t know that.. Your too quick to judge.. And i guess its in your nature since there are many of you who reply like such to other posts like this.. Its sad how prople like you in this world would rather post a rude comment than rather lending a hand. Hmm what a shame. Cry me a river Its the same crap everyday, doesn’t matter what country it is. There’s plenty of threads you could of posted in, but you wanted to feel special and have your own and it’s me that’s immature, attention seeking is for kids pal. Why does everything go back to cod? And I genuinely want you to answer that. I gave you a solution, change your playstyle, i dont struggle with snipers at all, i wonder why. Your post is just a look at me I need attention, you already admitted there’s threads like this, so why did you feel the need to make another? Try my solution and you wouldn’t need to come here and cry. ---

I like snipers. Especially if they are the sit in one spot kind and are not aggressive and playing the objective. Taking tags or using limpets is great fun. It’s even better when they go back to precisely the same spot when they respawn. 😃 ---

I’ve found most of the aolo snipers (the ones who don’t play for the team) are easy pickings they are predictable easy to find and spot. Situational awareness and map knowledge are key try spending a few rounds exploring the map (all of it not just around an objective) look for those places YOU would use looking for good cover lines of sight etc when you know where snipers are likely to be you’ll find it a lot easier to avoid or hunt them ---

The problem is not the snipers per se but the cheesy sweet spot mechanic. In the words of the oldest bf player alive…“They ruined battlefield” 👅 ---
